Chapter 52 Expansion
"Sister Yan, this pickled radish is really delicious, did you make it yourself?"

"Yeah, it's simple. I'll teach you later, and I promise you will learn it as soon as you learn it."

Di Yan took out two dishes of side dishes from the kitchen and put them on the dining table. She was about to wake up Lu Hanming, who was sleeping late, when she heard a knock on the door, so she ordered, "Fang Fei, go and open the door. It must be my younger brother."

Xia Fangfei gathered up her long hair that was hanging over her shoulders, tied it into a simple ponytail with a rubber band, walked over to open the door, and saw Di Ye wearing a dark brown suit and a red striped tie, looking like a business elite. She couldn't help laughing, and joked: "Are you here to be my male secretary today?"

With one hand in his pocket, Di Ye made a pretendingly deep gesture, and said, "Miss Xia, are you interested in a date?"

The so-called people rely on clothes. Di Ye usually wears ordinary clothes such as down jackets, but suddenly changed into a formal suit, looking handsome and upright. Xia Fangfei is a good-looking person, and she felt admiration in her heart. She reached out her hand to touch his chest, and said with a joke: "Let me check your body first to see if it is suitable for a date."

Di Yan came out of the bedroom, saw the situation and said with a smile: "Saobao! Where's the omelette I want?"

"Bring it, my mother made it herself."

Di Ye switched from a deep and handsome man to a gentle and warm man. He raised the two insulated boxes in his hands and said to Xia Fangfei, "I bought tofu nao specially for you. I didn't ask the boss to add seasonings. I adjust the saltiness and sweetness myself."

Xia Fangfei smiled, and posted a kiss on him. Di Yan saw it from behind, and said with contempt: "Fangfei, you are too easy to bribe, kissing with a bowl of tofu?"

"I eat tofu for cheap, not for tofu."

"You're such a hooligan... Come over to eat, don't stand at the door and blow the cold wind."

Lu Hanming had a social event last night, drank a lot of wine, and was still a little hungover in the morning. He yawned and walked out of the master bedroom. Seeing that Di Ye was dressed so formally, he lifted his spirits and asked, "Xiao Ye, what are your plans for today?"

"Brother-in-law, go and wash up first, and we'll talk about it later while having breakfast."

After Lu Hanming went to the bathroom to wash up, when he came out again, he saw Di Ye sitting on the sofa, holding up a travel map of Yuncheng, and asked, "Are you going out with Fang Fei today?"

"No, I plan to open 10 Yingfeng branches in Yuncheng within one day today."

"What?!"

Lu Hanming was taken aback. Di Yan and Xia Fangfei were also surprised. They turned their heads to look at him from the dining table. Di Ye didn't rush to explain, but told the story of Fan Dazhi's introduction of the new shareholder last night, and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you know the background of these two people?"

Lu Hanming thought for a while and said, "That Zheng Yingyong may be a relative of Zheng Kui, the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau. Ren Yinglian doesn't know."

Xia Fangfei interrupted at this time: "I know that Ren Yinglian is the mistress of Zhong Rongke, the general manager of Sanjiang Import and Export Company."

Lu Hanming clapped his hands together, and suddenly said: "That should be right, Fan Dazhi took me to Sanjiang Import and Export Company at noon the day before yesterday."

Di Yan was greatly surprised, looked at Xia Fangfei, and asked, "How do you know?"

Xia Fangfei drank tofu nao with a spoon, and explained: "Sister Wen Jing and I have contacted some outstanding alumni working in Yuncheng in the past two days in order to develop members of the fan club. Zhong Rongke graduated from the School of Chemical Engineering of Yunda University. He didn't let his wife join the club, but recommended Ren Yinglian."

Di Yan was even more surprised, and said, "The movie club you and Miss Wen Jing set up, you can only join if someone with status recommends you?"

"Of course, we are a high-end club, and we only accept 100 members a year, and only women."

Di Yan was very sensitive to things like interpersonal relationships, so she turned her head and asked Di Ye, "You made this up, right? It said it was a movie club, but it was actually a pillow blowing club."

Di Ye shook his head in denial, and said, "I asked Fang Fei to find Miss Wen Jing to set up a fan club so that I could easily sell VCD players, but the two of them made a lot of trouble and set up a so-called private fan club, which was completely contrary to my purpose."

Seeing Di Yan's disbelief, Xia Fangfei helped to explain, "Sister Wen Jing once accompanied Professor Liu to Japan to study abroad. Many companies in Japan have clubs for wives of employees, and regularly hold activities to connect with each other, so she wants to have one in Yunda."

"So it is."

The mid-90s was the heyday of Japan's economy, and many people in China were blindly pursuing their management culture. Di Yan was a little moved and asked, "I'm not from Yunda, can I join the club?"

"Your brother is from Yunda, of course you can join the club. I'll get you a membership card later."

Lu Hanming was not interested in the fan club, so he ate an egg pancake with millet porridge and asked, "Xiaoye, you just said that you will open 10 branches today, how do you plan to open them?"

"In the past few days, many people have gone to Guangdong Province to buy CDs and returned. They have opened 6 stores in Chenghuang Temple and Computer City. Since most of the customers in Yuncheng who have VCD players are bundled with the package we made, the business of these stores is very deserted. I plan to include them all today and change them into Yingfeng franchise stores."

Di Ye folded the map, showing only the downtown area, and continued: "In addition, I will rent 4 shops near the north gate of Yunda, the city government, Qingyun Road, and Fengyueyuan, and open Yingfeng's directly-operated stores. There will be 10 stores in total, and another 10 stores will be opened in the next two days. I will strive to open a store at the gates of all large communities in Yuncheng before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There are about 50 stores in total."

Di Yan was frightened by his grand plan, put down her chopsticks and scolded: "Are you crazy? Do you know how much it costs to open so many stores? The annual rent alone will cost millions!"

"Not so many. I don't need to pay for the 6 ready-made stores. I asked them to give me the money and collect the franchise fee on a monthly basis. The other 44 stores, except for a few popular locations, pay the rent annually, and the rest pay the rent on a monthly basis. If you can make money, you can continue to rent. If you can't make money, you won't rent it next month."

"The shop is not a private house, who will rent it to you on a monthly basis?"

Di Ye laughed and said, "Sister, I rented a store because I was concerned about the company's image. If I can't rent it, I will use a private house to open a branch. Not only will I not pay a dime, but I will even make money."

Di Yan laughed back angrily, and hummed: "Nonsense!"

Lu Hanming is a fan of Di Ye now, so he didn't think he was talking nonsense, so he asked with interest: "Xiao Ye, how do you use a private house to open a store?"

"It's very simple. Now the price of a movie CD is 50 yuan, and it costs 10 yuan to rent it once. Brother-in-law, you give me a deposit of 1000 yuan, plus a 500 yuan franchise fee. I will give you the list of Yingfeng's package customers in the post and telecommunications community. Then you go to my place to get the CD back and sublet it to them. We will split the rent at 37 yuan, you 3 and I 7."

"The rent is deducted from the 2500 yuan package fee, right?"

"That's right, you won't be able to receive rent when subletting, so you can only register customer information, report it to the flagship store at the end of the month, and then you can share the money."

"It costs 1 yuan to rent a movie once. I can get 10 yuan each time, and the franchise fee is 3 yuan. I have to rent out 500 movies to get back the cost. 168 movies are too many. I have to rent it for a long time, right?"

Di Ye shook his head and smiled, and said: "Yingfeng has 37 package customers in the post and telecommunications community. Assuming that each customer rents one movie a week, it only takes 5 weeks to rent 168 movies, and the rest is pure profit. Brother-in-law, this business can be done at home without renting a storefront.

"I'm definitely willing!"

Di Ye shrugged his shoulders, and said to Di Yan: "Look, sister, I didn't pay a dime, and with just a few words, I asked my brother-in-law to pay 500 yuan to open a branch in your home."

Di Yan felt that Lu Hanming was not up to date, so she glared at him, but she couldn't refute, so she took a big bite of the egg pancake and drank the porridge with her head down.

It was rare for Lu Hanming to see Di Yan deflated, with a smile on his face, he picked a piece of pickled radish for her, and said, "Yanzi, don't talk about business with Xiao Ye in the future, his brain is too flexible, and ordinary people can't compare it."

Xia Fangfei felt the same way, and comforted her: "Sister Yan, Di Ye is the most capable of engaging in crooked things. We are decent people, so don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Di Yan was still unconvinced, and after thinking about it, she asked Di Ye again: "If this is the case, then why do you spend money to rent a shop to open a direct-sale store? You can't just do it like this."

Di Ye felt a little helpless, rubbed his forehead with his fingers, and said, "First, in the name of opening a directly-operated store, I will block the money in the company's accounts and prevent the two new shareholders from misappropriating it; second, this kind of tactic will cause endless disasters. I don't want to be a bad guy and ruin things."

Lu Hanming didn't understand, and said, "What's so bad about it? You earn the franchise fee, and I earn the sublet fee. Everyone gets what they need. That's great."

"Brother-in-law, you don't have enough hearts to swallow the elephant. I am a good person. I only charge you a deposit of 1000 yuan and a franchise fee of 500 yuan. If I were not a good person, I would charge you a deposit of 3000 yuan and a franchise fee of 2000 yuan. After a few months, you find that there is no hope of making money. When you want to get back the deposit and franchise fee, I have already disappeared."

"For a franchise fee of 2000 yuan, I can earn 3 yuan for renting a movie, and I need to rent 667 movies..."

Di Ye saw that Lu Hanming was still a bit confused and was still calculating, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, now the entire VCD market in Yuncheng is controlled by me. I said that the rent of a movie is 10 yuan, so that's 10 yuan! After a while, when DVD players and rental stores of various brands appear, the rent of a movie may only be 2 yuan. If you split the bill at 37, you can only earn 6 cents for one rental. When will you wait until you can get 2000 yuan? Earn back the joining fee?"

Lu Hanming was speechless, but Di Yan laughed loudly, imitating the example, and gave him a piece of pickled radish, repeating: "Han Ming, don't talk about business with Xiaoye in the future, his brain is too flexible, and ordinary people can't compare it."
